Nice to meet you :)
Heya! This is my first time joining an online forum so apologies in advance if I do commit a faux pas. I'm an 18 going-on 19 male (v-card still in tact) from Singapore that happens to be gay as well.
I've never opened up about my insecurities and problems to anyone in real life so I can't say that I have any officially diagnosed mental disorder (thought I do have some suspicions that I have social anxiety since I was asked if I had autism during my first day of orientation because I could barely speak to the other students). The last time I tried to open up to a student councillor I just broken down and cried without saying anything which made me even more afraid of opening up to anyone face to face for fear I make a fool out of myself. What pushed me to join the forum would probably because I've recently felt very vulnerable and emotional. Maybe its the stress of having been unwillingly conscripted. Maybe its the stress of having been closeted for the past 18 years and having to keep it up for the rest of my life for fear of discrimination (sadly, even though we're considered a "first-world country", this is still rampant both legally and socially). Who knows? I came across this board by chance and saw a possible haven for me to be open without having to pretend to be someone I'm not. So... Here I am I guess ;)
p.s. Wew, this is turned out longer than expected and it feels nice to be able to introduce myself as who I really am without fear of judgement.
